Hierarchy of objectives
Quality of elaboration
 Strategic/overall objective is the statement expressing long-term
or medium term qualitative change in the strategy/programme
area covering some aspect of rural life on the way to vision.
 This change MOST PROBABLY will happen in given time period
IF local action group will invest into selected development
priorities and measures
 Specific objectives are expressions of short term or sector
qualitative changes in given time period (the same as for
strategic objective), which HAVE to happen within the group of
strategy/programme beneficiaries, so that priorities will be fulfilled
and strategic objective achieved.
Principles of objectives formulation
Principles of formulating objectives:
- S implicity
- M easurability
- A chievability
- R eality
- T iming

Assessment of strategic framework
Quality of elaboration
 Measures – are concrete sets of activities implementing within
particular specific objectives.
 In case of the integrated strategy various measures of various
programs and own measures, covered by financial means, can
be implemented.
 With regards to the Leader subsidy only measures of axis 3 and
4 are considered in Slovak Republic
 Therefore it is necessary to set up clearly which measures
belong to which specific objectives, so the intervention logic
starting with strategic objectives and ending with measures is
obvious with the main point of view – measures shall be
composed so, that envisioned results (specific objective level)
and impacts (strategic objectives level) are achieved.
Logic of the strategic framework and its
interlink to other parts of the strategy
Vertical coherence
 Logical interlink to SWOT and needs assessment, which
is the source of justification of selected objectives
 Logical interlink of development priorities with the entire
strategic framework
 Logical interlink of the strategic objective with specific
objectives within each particular priority and in their
synergy
 Logical interlink of the strategic framework with action
and financial plan
Horizonatl coherence
 Logical interlink of objectives with the result and impact
indicators in evaluation framework and measures with
output indicators
Important questions to be asked
Each question ranking 1 – 5: 1 – worst, 5 – best

Significant innovative approach to the problem solving is
obvious in the strategic framework.
Selected objectives and measures are well justified by
situation analysis, SWOT and needs assessment
The intervention logic is clearly set by the strategic
framework, strategic objective is expressing well the
whished change, selected priorities are able to contribute
to this change effectively, efficiently and on sustainable
manner and specific objectives are sufficiently covering
these priorities
Selected measures are contributing to the fulfillment of
specific and consequently also strategic objectives
Selected measures produce expected outputs, results
and impacts
